It is guided, however, by biblical authority (God’s glory), an unlimited light source. As I abide in it, using my gift, reason and purpose is fulfilled. In the Beginning: Young Blood shows reverence to the holy scriptures, particularly Moses. It also acknowledges the author’s artistic passion to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Oh, how sin doesn’t just fall off like leaves on a tree!” We must put it away with the word of God (truth and grace). There is no greater love. Accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ in your life today and forever. Be blessed and love one another.This is about us—a spiritual family! The humor, tragedy, and survival we all endure is the whole human predicament. The overall experience is shared through stories and testimonies for growth and salvation. What a kinship. All for God’s glory. Enjoy!
